Odd problem with importing file Aliases

You have three import options when you import into a library. Did you use leave in place?

So I assume that's what you used on the dialog in the import window.

Can you post a screen shot of the original media folder inside the library bundle?

It looks like you had one folder with a lot of other folders inside it with a few images in each. Is that right? And you selected the top folder St Jean de Pamplona and imported with folders to make keyword collections. That's the result you get. Each folder is a separate keyword collection. St Jean contains all the clips and the other collections the clips you organized them into. The media of course is not duplicate.

Not really. You've created the elaborate folder structure and the application is trying to reproduce that as collections. It's somewhat more limited than a hierarchical folder structure as you cannot have collections within collections, but you can group the collections inside folders.

The aliases point to other folders, which is where the media resides. The application can't work out which folders you want and which you don't want. It recreates all the folders. Not sure what's wrong with the structure other than it seems a little overly complex. Not sure what benefit the alias folder structure is for you, unless it benefits other applications.

Not really, if that's the structure you're used to.
